A seated person in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, raises one hand in greeting while sitting beneath a canopy of multicoloured tassels in yellow, orange, magenta, purple and green. The canopy and palanquin are draped with white jasmine garlands and gold-topped finials. Palm trees and a white wall are behind. A garland-decorated golden palanquin frames the figure. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the palanquin, identified by saffron robes, orange turban, long swept hair and rudraksha mala. One attendant in orange cloth stands at the left edge, partly visible.
